I remember reading about this in Seconds magazine....coincidentally,
it was the issue with the BOC article!....anyways, this was an
interesting story....I remember Vikernes maintained throughout it
that he didn't burn the churches but he knew who did....then he claimed
that the guy he killed was actually planning to kill him, so he
went after the guy first........
he had some pretty racist ideas about music though.....and he was
definitely hung up on Tolkien's books

>BTW: Do you remember the name of the Mayhem guy Varg killed?

according to the Seconds article, the guy's name was Oystein Aarseth
and he went by the name of "Euronymous"
